"It seems creating that out-of-body incarnation was the right decision... such a quick and excellent work, I'm impressed with myself!"
Yun Jhin got up from his cross-legged position above the blood river as he called upon Marthon, Marthon arrived immediately as he got the call from Yun Jhin and kneeled in front of him.
"From now on you will be the patriarch of the sect... I have some business to take care of... from now on you will not be Marthon anymore."
"Your highness I? What do you mean by that."
"Oh, just one thing..."
Yun Jhin's arm inserted itself into Marthon's skull as life started to slip away from his eyes, he couldn't leave behind any weaklings to control the sect no matter how brainwashed he was, he was going to create another out of body incarnation to control the blood river!
Not much time had passed since Yun Duritz had arrived in the celestial realm, it was below 1 year and Marthon hadn't grown much, he was around the 8th stage of the sage realm now, even though the resources of the sect had been used on Yun Duritz, Yun Jhin could increase the cultivation of his closer confidantes using blood sacrifices, as the sect population increased there were even more benefits to be reaped, in Yun Jhin's eyes they were all sheep waiting for their wool to be harvested or slaughtered for their meat.
Unlike the previous situation, Yun Jhin could create an out-of-body incarnation with the cultivation at the 8th stage of the sage realm as he wasn't using a newly created body.
Marthon opened his eyes and did another bow before he left not announcing anything, now that he was an out of body incarnation he could control the blood river as well as the original, albeit it would be weaker due to the lack of cultivation base but he would be able to defend the headquarters from the predatory eyes of all of those interested.
Now that he had finished the preparations for leaving Yun Jhin immediately disappeared from the cave and started to teleport to the location of the gate to the celestial realm.
He appeared in the empty galaxy as he took in a deep breath the gate to the celestial realm appeared by itself and started to light up just as before, but unlike before he successfully passed through it!
Yun Jhin opened his eyes to find himself in a beautiful forest, the same bear that first met Yun Duritz was in the same position as before but unlike the laughing expression that he had when he met Duritz he felt as if he was ready to pee himself as Yun Jhin got up from the ground and his aura was unleashed at full power.
"Hahahaha." All of Yun Duritz's memories and current actions were reflected in his mind as his connection with him was restored, he didn't think he would get so much helpful information combined with the techniques from the Soul Emperor this was literally the best day of his current life!
All of the things that happened with Yun Duritz poured into his mind as he got a hold of the laws of the celestial realm, he had the same problem as Duritz regarding breakthroughs and with the laws taken from the soul emperor's tomb, he wouldn't have problems with breaking through until the 8th stage of the God Realm! The inheritance contained only 64 laws because it wasn't complete.
Yun Jhin disappeared after he put two fingers on his forehead and appeared directly in the house near Yun Duritz.
Yun Duritz bowed to him and Yun Jhin laughed as he put his hand forward for a handshake.
Duritz's eyes shined as he shook Yun Jhin's hand, his body started to transform into little light particles that Yun Jhin's body started to absorb, his body refining rank immediately jumped to the 10,000th ranks and catalyzed itself as Yun Duritz's bloodline was absorbed into Yun Jhin's body, as he was an out of body incarnation so whatever he had was Yun Jhin's when Yun Jhin decided it was time to go back to him he would be absorbed and all of his cultivation would be catalyzed into Yun Jhin's body along with his bodily strength.
Yun Jhin let out a breath that contained all of his frustrations from not being able to get into the celestial realm, his body reached the peak once again, he enjoyed the feeling of having the ultimate body strength as the Lin family's bloodline started to run rampant into his body, his muscles grew a little bit as his hair grew in length and changed to a pale green color before these changes reverted.
"Ah this is certainly a good transformation bloodline technique... the power increase is substantial."
Yun Jhin took a liking to the bloodline technique as his aura and face changed to Yun Duritz's.
Even though the absorption was instant and he still needed to play the part in case any of the old folks woke up and wanted to see him.
Now that he was here with his main body it was easier for him to act how he wanted considering his current cultivation was at the 4th stage and with the absorption of Yun Duritz he had recovered his soul power to its maximum and even improved it by more than 50%, he even felt that he was near a breakthrough!
"The 5th stage... yes I should breakthrough soon the oldbies will be alerted that way but that's what I want as they don't know my cultivation and everyone else who did is already mind-controlled, they would surely come to congratulate me and that's when I will strike... taking full control of the Lin family will make me the overlord of these eastern parts and I will be able to move wherever I want..."
Yun Jhin directly went to work as he started to channel the laws that he got from the Soul Emperor... his eyes clouded over as beams of energy left his body towards the skies where the laws were invited.
Because Yun Jhin current body was filled with an immense amount of destiny that he absorbed from Duritz the laws acted as if they were sharks that smelled blood as they rushed directly into his body and fused with it.
8 laws became 16 laws as Yun Jhin's body was enshrouded in a myriad of colors his cultivation finally increased once again!
He opened his eyes as he clenched his hand and punched the space in front of him destroying it thoroughly.
Under the house, 3 old men and 1 old woman suddenly woke up as they looked above and said:
"This is...? Lin Duritz? Wasn't he kidnapped by that Yuan Fang? When did he get back?"
"Hmm... it seems he is back and in his whole minds if no one attacks him and he is on the patriarch's seat, and his cultivation base isn't bad at all, it seems he just broke through and surpassed his big sister!"
"Should we go and grace him with our presence? It's customary for the patriarch to kneel before the ancestors for him to be truly accepted by the family, we didn't have to do this with Luan as she was only there to fill the role but considering Duritz is back we should go."
"Indeed, let's throw a banquet as well, we had been cultivating for such a long time but we still couldn't reach the peak of the God Realm... its unfortunate but we won't be able to join the ranks of the upper families until our deaths... well at least we will be able to hold onto our middle rank."
The 4 people flew through the ground as if they were ghosts and appeared in the throne room directly in front of Yun Jhin as they unleashed their auras.
Yun Jhin looked at them and bowed while saying:
"The ancestors I presume?"
"Indeed Lin Duritz, your act of breaking through had woke us up and we came to... install you properly as the patriarch as well as to party!"
"Oh, there are more things to be done before I'm truly the patriarch? I thought that was everything according to my sister."
"That was everything for her but not for you, you are the rightful successor so you are supposed to do a few more things compared to her who was just filling the status, now come here and kneel to us so we can give you your blessing!"
Yun Jhin took a few steps forward as he kneeled in front of the 4 oldbies before chuckling darkly, the chuckle didn't escape the big ears of the elders in front of him as they asked:
"Mind telling us what's so funny young man?"
"Oh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you... but let's say that we will have a change of pace around here from now on."
"I don't understand what do you mean... you?"
Suddenly a pentagram formation appeared below the feet of Yun Jhin and the elders as Lin Lang, Lin Luan, and a few other elders appeared from nowhere, they were powering up the formation with their own blood as they bleed slowly in the formation nodes to keep the formation going, Yun Jhin got up from his kneeling position as his body muscle mass increased and his transformation commenced.
The 4 elders couldn't move for a few seconds before they broke through the pentagram formation restrictions only for them to realize that while they were not paralyzed anymore they were still weakened by around 20%!
"Junior you dare!"
The 4 old people said in unison as they started to power up making their flaky and weak-looking bodies become just like those of bodybuilders the old woman included, this was the extreme form of the transformation which traded speed for strength fully, considering they were trapped together this was the best form for this occasion. However, Yun Jhin was using the balanced form instead.
Yun Jhin easily moved amongst them as if he was a ghost, he was basically dancing and weaving through their fist, palm, and leg attacks as he finally returned one attack, a leg sweep that made the 4 of them fall to the floor so hard that they left 4 indents on it.
The female elder grunted as she said:
"Occasional gravity outbursts?"
"Ding Ding Ding, you are correct, do you know what's your prize?"
Yun Jhin immediately appeared above her as he drove his leg on her neck cutting her oxygen supply and immobilizing her as he hit three parts of her meridians with his fingers on her chest and arms making her unable to move.
The three old men got up as they glared at Yun Jhin seeing their companion being immobilized on the floor being unable to even talk!
"You made a mistake to rebel, you all don't know that we are needed for the continuation of this family! Why are you doing this? We aren't even interested in secular affairs!"
Everyone kept mum as Yun Jhin didn't tell them to talk.
Yun Jhin appeared near them as his aura intensified and theirs started to diminish:
"Oh, you will see... you will join them in their collective thinking very soon."
The three elders glanced at each other as they suddenly started dancing confusing Yun Jhin as his aura faltered for a second...
Were celestial realm folks really clowns in disguise???
